To the Love of My Life

Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Overbearing CEO Falls for the Delicate Wife (19)_1
 

Ruby Gregory looked at Steve Burton’s foolish demeanor, the crease between her brows deepened for a moment, and she reached out to pull him, dragging the man into the car.

In the car, Steve Burton’s gaze remained fixed outside the window, maintaining the same posture without changing, occasionally blinking before inexplicably letting out a soft chuckle.

Ruby Gregory, sitting beside him, would turn her head every time she heard Steve Burton’s laughter, her eyes revealing a somewhat odd expression.

By then the sky had darkened, and it took the driver only forty-five minutes to get Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory to the Burtons’ Mansion.

Inside the house, Madam Burton had not yet gone to bed, Mrs. Taylor stood behind her, and both were pointing at a booklet, murmuring about something as they discussed it.

Upon hearing the door open, Madam Burton raised her hand, saw Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory coming in, and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Steve, Ruby, you’re back just in time, come and have a look at the styles of the things we need for your wedding.”

Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton approached, and Madam Burton flipped the booklet to the first page, pointing at a red envelope, “I think this one is good, Ruby, what do you think?”

Ruby checked the design Madam Burton pointed out, then glanced at the other styles, agreeing with her opinion, so she nodded her head.

“And Steve?” Madam Burton turned her head and looked at Steve Burton.

Steve Burton, still not fully recovered from Ruby Gregory’s sudden confession, heard his mother’s voice and, sounding somewhat perfunctory, lifted his eyelids for a glance and said with a cold tone, “It’s fine.”

The next second, he split his lips into a smile.

Madam Burton, surprised by her son’s expressionless face and then sudden giggling, blinked in astonishment, and laughed offhandedly as if at something ridiculous, before she completely disregarded Steve Burton and resumed her discussion with Ruby Gregory.

During their discussion, Madam Burton and Ruby occasionally heard Steve Burton’s snickering, exchanged glances, and then continued talking.

After nearly an hour of back and forth, they finally settled on the designs for some small items needed for the wedding, and only then did Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton head back to the second floor.

Ruby bathed first, and after she was done, she checked on the Triplets, then returned to Steve Burton’s bedroom and climbed into bed.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder flashed outside the window, and Ruby turned her head, noticing that a heavy rain had begun to pour down from the sky.

After Steve took his shower and exited the bathroom, he casually turned off the bedroom’s main light. As he lay down on the bed, lightning streaked outside, illuminating the dim bedroom in a bright flash.

Using the light from the lightning, Ruby looked at Steve Burton’s handsome profile, then slowly snuggled up to his side, resting her head on his shoulder.

After the lightning, came the rolling thunder.

Ruby tilted her head slightly and whispered into Steve Burton’s ear, “Time has passed, it’s been two months already.”

When Steve Burton heard this, he was a bit dazed, and with a baffled “Hmm?” he asked in confusion, “What two months?”

Due to shyness, Ruby’s face turned a shade redder, “What two months?”

Steve Burton was still clueless, staring into Ruby’s eyes, seemingly lost.

Ruby’s face grew even redder, she lifted her leg and kicked twice under the covers, then said with a kind of coquettish reprimand, “It’s been two months since I gave birth to the Triplets, the doctor said, the doctor said that after two months…”
